Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Week

South Dakota's Touchstone Energy Cooperatives and KSFY Television have joined together to recognize the achievements of high school seniors throughout the region.

Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Week has been celebrating the achievements of high school seniors since 2002. Recipients are highly motivated high school seniors who excel in the classroom and community. This program was founded on the four pillars of Touchstone Energy: Integrity, Accountability, Innovation and a Commitment to Community. School principals and faculty from across the state submit nominations for the award. KSFY-TV selects a student each week for the $100.00 scholarship. Northern Electric sponsors the scholarship when a student is selected from our service territory. KSFY-TV profiles each week's winner on the 6 pm newscast. In addition to being honored as a Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Week, the scholar is then eligible for the $1,000.00 Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Year which is presented in April.
